[edit] Official name

Officially the station is now known as Stourbridge

I don't believe this claim: the Centro website [1], the current timetable [2] and National Rail Enquiries [3] continue to use the name "Stourbridge Town". I have therefore removed it. --RFBailey 08:54, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

The station is officially known as Stourbridge Town inorder to distinquish it from Stourbridge Junction. DonBarton 09:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] January Edits

Whilst great at first glance, a lot of this information is about the branch line rather than the station itself. I've relocated the accidents section, and will probably do the same with selected bits of information. Contact me with any objections :) Worley-d 17:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Length of platform

The article reads: "It has a single 170 ft platform which is just long enough to hold the single car Class 153 railcar[...]" 170 ft, that's around 51 meters, a single unit is 23.2 metres according to British_Rail_Class_153. So this seems to be an exaggeration. Was it meant to say just enough to hold a two-car unit, or something? Greswik (talk) 19:24, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
